  • Title: Onyx, a new liquid embolic material for peripheral interventions: preliminary experience in aneurysm, pseudoaneurysm, and pulmonary arteriovenous malformation embolization.
    Author: Vanninen RL, Manninen I.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 2007; 30(2):196-200. PubMed ID: 17205359.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To describe our preliminary experience with a new liquid embolization agent, Onyx, in peripheral interventions. METHODS AND RESULTS: We successfully treated two peripheral aneurysms (one in an internal iliac artery, one in a thoracic collateral artery of an aortic coarctation), two peripheral pseudoaneurysms (one in a lumbar artery, one in a renal artery), and one pulmonary arteriovenous malformation. CONCLUSION: Onyx is a promising alternative embolic material for peripheral interventions. It can be combined with coils in selected cases, and balloon catheters can be effectively used during slow injection of embolic material to control flow and protect the aneurysm neck.
